Homeownership brings great joy to many, but with it, comes the dreaded word – home maintenance. However, home maintenance doesn’t have to be a burden if you set time aside each year to prevent tomorrow’s problems. This means giving equal importance to both the interior and exterior. Take your roof for instance. Roofs get more abuse from the elements than any other part of your home, and preventative maintenance is a key component to providing a longer service life.
Whether it’s a commercial or residential roof, all roofing systems require some sort of maintenance throughout the year. Concrete tile roofs, under normal conditions, require minimal upkeep. Semi-annual inspections should be done to identify and solve problems as they occur. An ideal time to perform these inspections would be at the end of the rainy season, as well as towards the end of the summer season.
When inspecting your roof and the surrounding areas be sure to:
In rainy seasons, mold thrives; letting mold sit on your rooftop is not only an esthetics issue but it may also interfere with the natural drainage of the roof system.
Most roof damage occurs before anyone at ground level notices it. Making discoveries of ponding, gaps around penetrations, loose flashings, or other roof damage should be promptly reported to a professional roofing company. If you experience any leaks, it’s important to get a thorough leak inspection as soon as possible. A visible interior leak could mean there’s an outside entryway for water to enter your roof structure.
If you see a potential roofing problem, call a professional roofing contractor like Andorra Roof Tiles & Pavers. Your roof is a big investment, make sure it’s leak-free all year long.
